　　Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their“guests”, as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.

　　All new employees, from vice presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking “Traditions I”. Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the part a success.

　　After passing“Traditions I”, the employees go on to more specialized training for their specific (具体的) jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple ordinary job, he replied, “What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds?... We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy party.”

　　Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.

　　All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provided in America or the world. As one long-time business observer once said, “How Disney treats people, communicates with them, rewards them, is in my view the very reason for his fifty years of success ... I have watched, very carefully and with great respect and admiration, the theory and practice of selling satisfaction and serving millions of people on a daily basis, successfully. It is what Disney does best.”

(1)The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees ________.

[　　]

A．begin by receiving on-the-job training

B．must learn several jobs

C．begin as ticket takers

D．have already attended Disney University

(2)The main objective of the Disney employees is to ________.

[　　]

A．learn all parts of the business

B．see that their guests enjoy themselves

C．be able to answer all kinds of questions

D．keep their important guests happy

(3)Each year, managers wear special service clothes and work in the park to ________.

[　　]

A．set a good example for employees

B．remind themselves of their beginning at Disney

C．gain a better view of the company's objectives

D．replace employees on holiday

(4)Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．Tourists learn the history of Disney in its entertainment parks.

B．Disney attracts people almost from all over the world.

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

This week in our Foreign Student Series，we talk about getting an American education online．A student named Hendra has written to us from Indonesia asking about a good online university．Finding the right online program requires research．Talking to advisers and recruiters（招募者）can help．Keep in mind，though，that they might have a financial interest to direct you to certain programs．

The Council on Higher Education Accreditation（CHEA）recognizes a group in Washington，D．C．，to accredit（授权）schools that offer distance learning．One hundred and ten programs in the United States and six other countries are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council．

We asked the executive director，Michael Lambert，for advice on choosing a distance learning program．He says the first thing is to go on the CHEA Web site to find if a school is accredited．The address is c-h-e-a dot o-r-g．Next，make sure the school offers what you need．Do you need a degree，or will a certificate or license be enough?

Another consideration is cost．Often the published price does not include all the costs --like books．Technology requirements can also add to the costs．Will you need to get new software or a high-speed Internet connection or even a new computer to take the classes you want?

Also，consider the level of interaction that an online program offers．You might never meet the teacher or other students in person．

Finally，and this is our own advice，find out what others say on the Internet for comments or news stories about schools that interest you．Just remember that what people say is not always fair or true．

56．This passage is probably from ________．

A．a magazine          B．a newspaper    

C．a text book       D．a radio program

57．This passage is mainly about ________．

A．how to get an American education online

B．what to learn in an American university

C．the introductions to schools offering distance learning

D．the advantages of online education

58．What else should be taken into consideration about cost besides the published price?

A．The cost for books and technology requirements．

B．The cost for books and a new computer．

C．The cost for new software and a high-speed Internet connection．

D．The cost for technology requirements and even a classroom．

59．How can you find the information about schools accredited to offer distance learning easily?

A．Ask the members of CHEA．        B．Go on the website of chea.org．

C．Ask Michael Lambert for help．      D．Talk to advisers and recruiters．

60 According to Michael Lambert，________．

A．to get a certificate or a license is much easier than to get a degree

B．it’s not fair for the schools to charge extra money beside the published price

C．the level of interaction that an online program offers is quite considerable

D．people’s comments about schools are always unbelievable
